The LORD Reminded Me...

“The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good."

I often think when I am reading the Bible, how I can apply it to being a mother, or other areas of my days. When I read the above verse this morning I thought how many times my eyes see the “evil” or the bad that the children do, but I needed to be reminded to see the “good” more often.

It is so easy for me to unintentionally just “notice” the bad and sinful behaviors. I stop noticing the good that they do, and showing them my appreciation for it. A good reminder today to intentionally be sure that “my eyes” are also seeing the good.We are praying for an appointment today...Steve and I are driving to Denver to have an “intake” appointment with an Occupational Therapist for Aiden. Praying for the LORD’s direction and wisdom!!!! Goodness, do I need some here.

Just prayed for little Aiden. And thank you for the reminder of seeing the good. I read a book one time called The Power of a Positive Mom or something like that and it said how people tend to remember the negative things said so much more than the positive. I need to praise my kids more. They are such a blessing to me. Thank you for the encouragement!

Another thing that has helped so very much that I can't help but say something, because I really wished I had known sooner was the "Biology of Behavior" CD and supplements from Dianne Craft. I would highly recommend them:)

About Me

Passionately living each day to “Declare His glory among the nations…” (Psalm 96:3) as a family and praying to encourage others to seek the LORDS adventure for them.
I am radically living as a Jesus following wife and mother who prays for eyes to see the adventure and beauty in each day, ears to hear the joy and laughter, and a heart ready to love and nurture those around me. Want to find your adventure? The LORD has one for you and you too can declare His glory among the nations!
I am passionate about the Bible, family, photography, herbs, home education, adoption and especially mothering.
My sweet man and I have been married for 21 years and blessed with 11 children, 8 home through adoption. I am incredibly grateful that the LORD has given me this full and busy life.

Sweet Friends
